Parts of the South are once again under the threat of severe weather this week, with tornadoes, damaging winds and hail possible Tuesday from Louisiana to North Carolina.
A tornado watch is in effect until 6 a.m. CT for northeast Texas, southwest Arkansas and northwest Louisiana, the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center said.
Severe storms moving through the region may produce tornadoes, wind gusts up to 75 mph and golf-ball sized hail, forecasters said. More than five million people are in the watch area, including the cities of Dallas, Texarkana, which straddles the Texas-Arkansas border, and Shreveport, Louisiana.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
